Benefits of using super to buy shares

There are many benefits in diversifying your SMSF portfolio with shares.

Investing wisely in shares can bring you a greater return on investment than a term deposit or savings account.

Your SMSF can earn a potential income from dividends, adding to the balance of your retirement fund.

There are lower tax rates on long term capital gains from investments, as well as the preferential tax rates your SMSF gets on income. SMSF investments that have been held for more than a year, only ⅔ of any gain is taxable.

Risks of using your super to buy shares

Investing your super in shares also carries many risks that you need to be aware of before diving in.

You really need to do your research and be sure that your investment decisions will be better than a fund manager’s.

Share prices can fluctuate massively and if they fall to zero, you lose all your money. It’s never a good idea to invest all your super in one company/industry.

You need to put in a lot of time and effort to keep your eye on the market and economy, so that your portfolio of investment rewards you for retirement.
